Jacked Ramsays: A Portland Trail Blazers Podcast

Hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague are joined by the NBA Draft Expert for Sports Illustrated, Jeremy Woo, on Tuesday afternoon’s live show to take a look at all things draft related for the Portland Trail Blazers.

We’ll hit on Jeremy’s Big Board, who he has rated as the best prospects, and whether or not his best prospect matches with Portland’s best fit. If Portland lands a top three pick, who does he value most for Portland for immediate impact of the long term: Jabari Smith Jr, Paolo Banchero, or Chet Holmgren?

Then, they will also take a look at tiers, which players fall where, and mixing in with some recent NBA comparisons where available. When looking at the likes of Keegan Murray, AJ Griffin, Shaedon Sharpe and others — where are they now versus where could they be in the near future?

Does Jeremy fall in the best player available camp or does fit carry more weight for the Blazers who want to return to competitive basketball? What will it cost to move up into the top four of this year’s draft if Portland wants to move back?

Got NBA Draft questions? Hop into the comments of the live show: Danny and Brandon will do their best to get a couple in for Jeremy to answer!

Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague with special guest, Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report to run down the exit interviews today by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Interim GM Joe Cronin was joined by Coach Chauncey Billups and players Josh Hart and Anfernee Simons as the only members of the franchise made available after their season came to an end Sunday evening, with a record of 27-55 missing the playoffs for the first time in 9 years and cementing the third worst season in franchise history.

The “what now” is what’s on the menu - the NBA Draft Lottery is 35 days away, the New Orleans Pelicans play the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night where a loss will send them out of the play in tournament immediately and increase the likelihood of the pick they owe the Blazers in the CJ McCollum trade conveying.

Once the lottery happens and the Blazers know what they have in their hands to work with - they can take on the task of working the phone lines as potential playoff hopefuls fall out of the race and Portland looks to bolster a squad that was stripped down to nothing.

Brandon, Sean and Danny will take a look at all of the comments made today and look ahead to what’s on deck for the Trail Blazers over the next 60 days.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they answer your questions live on stream!

Whether you’re interested in the NCAA Championship game’s remaining NBA Draft eligible players like Ochai Agbaji or Armando Bacot, we’ll make sure we cover all the angles of tonight’s game as well as what NCAA players made the biggest push up the ladder during the tournament, who fell down and what the Mock Draft Board starts to look like.

Who will Portland take in the draft certainly hinges on where their own pick and potentially one conveyed by the New Orleans Pelicans lands, but if you’re allowing yourself to dream, is it Paolo Banchero or Jabari Smith Jr at number one? Perhaps you favor the bold and want to swing for Chet Holmgren? What if it lands between picks 4-6? What separates Jaden Ivey, Keegan Murray and AJ Griffin for the Blazers and do you look for fit or best player available?

The offseason is only a week away for some teams, those headed to the playoffs could be there sooner than expected. If the Utah Jazz fall on their face, it appears they could be headed for a major overhaul - would or should the Blazers get involved for a deal for Jazz center Rudy Gobert if he becomes available? What if Donovan Mitchell is traded to the Miami Heat, could that domino trigger a move for Jimmy Butler to Portland?

It’s time to get weird! Join the guys live and get ready for the offseason that’s only a week away!

It’s a live Jacked Ramsays mail bag with Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague. Fresh off the heels of the most incredible tank job (perhaps the best in NBA history) by the Portland Trail Blazers, who strung together three of the most awe-inspiring losses in franchise history, including twice to the Houston Rockets and an overtime masterpiece that saw them snatch a loss from the jaws of victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The guys take a look at your tanking questions: Is 5th worst just a mirage? Chasing down the Indiana Pacers looks like the goal — but is it actually possible?

Then it’s time to take a look at the draft. What to do with a Top 4 pick? Has the draft board shifted deep into the NCAA Tournament? Paolo Banchero, AJ Griffin, Mark Williams and more from Duke have a chance to make a run to the title game and show a bit more before the draft, are you buying?

What’s more likely to happen this offseason, Jerami Grant or the field? Hop on now!

It’s a live Jacked Ramsays Mail Bag wher hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague will tackle as many questions about the Portland Trail Blazers as they can in an hour!

With Shams Charania revisiting the Jerami Grant to Portland 5-alarm fire, there’s a lot of questions about how, why, when and more — that a deal between the Trail Blazers and the Detroit Pistons would get done and what it would mean for both franchises moving forward.

Is it a GOOD idea? What are the drawbacks and potential pitfalls? Where could things go right for the franchise?

With the NCAA Tournament about to get into its second week, numerous Top 10 NBA Draft prospects have proven their bonafides. Ben Mathurin has rocketed up numerous Draft Boards as well as Chet Holmgren creating and answering more questions. Paolo Banchero’s new found point forward role has scouts wondering how much his role during the season wasn’t optimized. How will those developments and more shake up the draft and how much can that impact Portland’s plans?

The Portland Trail Blazers get the tank back on track in Atlanta, dropping the first game of a 5-game trip for the Blazers, 122-113.

While the Blazers are clearly leaning heavily on the idea of ping pong balls at the NBA Draft lottery, they’ve now figured out that losing by historic margins doesn’t actually improve their odds and as such have found ways to make the past couple games a bit more competitive.

The player leading the charge? None other than Josh Hart, who followed up his 44-point bid with a 31-point, 7-rebound, 4-assist night. Plus we saw ANOTHER 20+ point performance from Trendon Watford (22 points, 9 rebounds) serving as the...what 6th version of a Blazers 1-2 punch this season?

The Blazers now head off to New York to take on the Knicks and then to Brooklyn for the Nets (Portland might even stay in the same hotel?) before a back-to-back against the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons.

Hop on in and discuss tonight’s game - the play of the young guys and the NCAA Tournament with Chet Holmgren and Jalen Duren in Portland for the West Regional bracket and more!

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a detour from the tank festival that is the Portland Trail Blazers and dive into the world of the NBA Draft and upcoming NCAA Tournament.

The guys are taking your questions about who to watch, where to look, and ultimately which ways the Blazers may go in the coming months as they pursue talent to add to Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, and Josh Hart.

With the Draft Lottery still months away, it’s about gathering as much information as possible over the next few weeks for a final chance before individual workouts, the NBA Combine and interviews to tie it all together. Jabari Smith Jr, Chet Holmgren, Paolo Banchero, Shaedon Sharpe, Jaden Ivey, Keegan Murray, Ben Mathurin — there’s no shortage of talent for the Blazers to evaluate as they MAY have two first round picks to work with.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they marvel at the futility on display from the Portland Trail Blazers tonight against the Utah Jazz. A game that saw the Blazers go down by 50 points, not clear 50 points through three quarters and ultimately lose by...checking calculator, carry the 7...A LOT, OK? This comes on the heels of the worst 5-game stretch in NBA history with regards to margin of defeat, which has now been extended to the most egregious losing streak in NBA history by a game.

Suffice it to say, the Blazers organization understands the assignment. There were once rumors that the Blazers didn’t truly think they should/could tank. It’s become very clear now that this version is one of the least, if not the least, talented teams in the NBA. There’s a universe out there where they do not win another game this season and find themselves squarely in the running for a top 4 pick. Join us to chat about whether that possibility can come true.
